Wolfgang A. Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro
The Chorus and Orchestra of Teatro alla Scala, Franz Welser-Möst
Studio: C Major
For the 225th anniversary of Mozarts death, La Scala Theatre presents a new production of Le nozze di Figaro that had been entrusted to the extraordinary director Frederic Wake-Walker (author of a production of La finta giardiniera which was the revelation of the Glyndebourne Festival in 2014). He focusses the action of the piece on the instability of love: ‚Le nozze di Figaro presents us with an impossibility a world where everyone is loving and forgiving.‘ The approach to his direction is ‚elaborate and very innovative‘ and ‚also musically, the new production of Figaro is worth a tour to Milan.‘ (NZZ)
